* National estimates are calculated from the totals for qualified reporting states (states which reported less than ten percent of counts in an "unknown or not reported" category). As these totals are based on differing groups of states for each year, they should NOT be compared across years. For comparisons across years, use the trend national estimates.
The categories for this VCIS question had no corresponding AFCARS data elements. Therefore, all AFCARS values are labeled as not available (N/A).
